Character Breakdown for Available Roles:



NETTIE CLEARY:  Middle-aged. Upper middle-class background. Once very
attractive. Feels trapped in a disappointing and contentious marriage.
She’s compensated by being overly-protective of her son, and is hurt and
confused now that he’s returned from WWII a different person than when he
left.



JOHN CLEARY: Middle-aged. Nettie’s husband, son of an impoverished Irish
immigrant family. Bitterly frustrated that he’s never fulfilled what he
feels was his potential. A philanderer. A drinker. He can be charming, but
is more generally irascible, stubborn, defensive, and set in his ways.



TIMMY CLEARY: Early 20s. John and Nettie’s son. A sensitive child, never
close to his father and overly-protected by his mother, he’s now returned
from three years in the Army in WWII with a more complete understanding of
the family’s dynamics. Witty and charming (and with a new fondness for
alcohol), Timmy probably resembles the man his father must have been when
he was young.



Bridge Street Theatre is located approximately one hour south of Albany.
All rehearsals and performances will take place in Catskill. Union actors
will appear under a Special Appearance contract at $262 per week. Non-union
performers will receive a stipend of $200 per week. No work weeks will
accrue for either EMC points or health insurance. Housing and one-time
